Galactica Boss Inks Deal to Do Moore for NBC U

Ronald D. Moore has scored a new two-year, seven-figure deal with NBC Universal Media Studios, where he will continue overseeing Sci Fi's

Battlestar Galactica during its final run, as well as develop new projects. NUMS, says Variety, is hot to get a new Moore series on the air for fall 2008, perhaps a comedy ("When an Earthling and a Cylon wind up as roommates, it's pure mayhem!") or even another sci-fi redo. "It sort of depends on what it is," Moore tells the trade. "My first instinct is to do something new and of my own [creation]. But I'm not averse to doing a new spin on something else. I will be as curious as you to see what my next project is." On the feature front, Moore is at work on a sequel to I, Robot and a remake of John Carpenter's The Thing.
